Barely able to contain my excitement, I started to read the dust cover, only to have my initial glee turn to glum. Seems that the book is about a group of self-selecting high school students who wished to meet anonymously and so picked a club name that they thought sounded so boring that no one outside the group would even consider at tending any of their meetings. I suppose when reading such things or having to answer the inevitable question at a party (\"Isn't geography just a 5th grade sub ject?\") it's easy to fall into Rodney Dangerfield Syndrome (RDS; \"We don't get no respect\"). Consolation, though, comes easily with the realization that APCG and like organizations are \"geography clubs\" whose meetings are attended by self-selecting individuals whose interests run the gamut from places to people to plants to patterns to processes, in both past and present. I like these gatherings and look forward to them each year. My hope is that as you're reading this volume of the Yearbook, you're also making plans to attend the meeting in Portland. Besides what promises to be a very enjoyable and rewarding time, you can also check out Powell's for other in triguing book titles! I hope you enjoy this edition of the Yearbook. I wish to thank all of the contributors for their initial efforts at producing fine research and for putting up with my quibbling during the editorial process. I also thank the individuals who supplied the various texts, photos, and other materials that go into each volume. Finally, I thank the usual cast of characters whose behind-the-scenes efforts are invalu able to the production of the Yearbook.

Georganas Best Paper Award. For this year’s award, all readers of TOMCCAP were invited to submit their nominations for articles published in Volume 8. All nominations were carefully examined and reviewed by the selection committee. The members of the TOMCCAP editorial board then conducted a final vote to determine the winning paper among the chosen nominees. This year, the winning article is “Exploring Interest Correlation for Peer-to-Peer Socialized Video Sharing” by Xu Cheng and Jiangchuan Liu, published in Volume 8, Issue 1. It examines architectures for large-scale video streaming systems exploiting social relations. To achieve its objective, a large study of YouTube traffic was conducted and a cluster analysis performed on the resulting data. Based on the observations made, a new approach for video prefetching based on social relations was developed. This important work bridges the gap between social media and multimedia streaming and hence combines two extremely relevant research topics. The award will be presented to the winning authors at ACM Multimedia in Barcelona and their trip is supported by SIGMM with $1000US. Congratulations to both authors! If you have recently read a TOMCCAP article published in Issue 9 that you think might be a potential candidate for next year’s best paper award, please send your nomination to my email address (steinmetz.eic@kom.tu-darmstadt.de). Please note that articles published in special issues are excluded from nomination. For more information about the award and the nomination and selection process, please visit our website http://tomccap.acm.org. Finally, I hope you will enjoy reading this special issue, which consists of two very exciting sections. Last year’s 20th anniversary of the ACM Multimedia Conference has inspired the guest editors to invite position papers by some of the most influential researchers in our field. They look back at the development of certain aspects of multimedia over the last 20 years and give some perspectives for the future. Additionally, based on an open call, four full-length papers have been reviewed and selected to extensively outline the development of particular multimedia areas. I highly recommend reading these very interesting insights which comprise the first section of this issue. According to our tradition, the second section contains invited and extended versions of the best papers from ACM Multimedia 2012.","PeriodicalId":87064,"journal":{"name":"Bristol medico-chirurgical journal (1883)","volume":"9 1","pages":"31:1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1145/2523001.2523002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64151985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Motivated by the ever-increasing need for higher video quality as well as the need for global video access, P2P has become a popular and often used technology for video streaming. P2P techniques not only offer advantages such as robustness, self-organization, and scalability, but they also allow content providers to offer streaming services to a multitude of users with fewer resources. Thus P2P-based video streaming has been an active topic not only in the academic community, but also from a commercial point of view. P2P streaming applications, such as PPLive and UUSee, deliver thousands of video channels to millions of users daily. Moreover, new operating systems and mobile smart phones are starting to ship with support for P2P mechanisms for multimedia delivery, which is the case, for example, with the latest Android operating system. With this supplemental issue of recently submitted TOMCCAP articles related to P2P streaming, we want to accommodate this development. This issue is comprised of six articles which present new approaches for important problems in P2P streaming systems as well as new insights and perspectives in this area.","PeriodicalId":87064,"journal":{"name":"Bristol medico-chirurgical journal (1883)","volume":"8 1","pages":"9:1-9:2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1145/2089085.2089086","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64132861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In “The Transformation of Contemporary Capitalism and the Concept of a Transnational Capitalist Class: A Critical Review in Neo-Poulantzian Perspective,” Joachim Hirsch and Jens Wissel question approaches that suggest this class has displaced national states. They develop an alternative approach that stresses how this class is integrated into national power blocs while also being articulated to international institutions, and explore how this balance has changed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The financial crisis has had some unsettling effects within university economics departments, fuelling interest in alternatives to the neoclassical consensus that has long dominated teaching and research. Marc Lavoie’s “The Global Financial Crisis: Methodological Reflections from a Heterodox Perspective” argues that the central theoretical division is between orthodoxy and the various heterodox schools, a division that can be grasped through five pairs of presuppositions. The basic heterodox view is that markets left on their own are unstable and need to be tamed. Many progressive accounts of the 2008 financial crisis have linked it to a conscious attack on government regulation, often by unscrupulous individuals; the Oscar-winning film “Inside Job” is a case in point. Robert Froese’s “The Limits of Inside Job : Crisis, Ideology, and the Burden of Capitalism” challenges this perspective, arguing that it abstracts the crisis from the underlying logic of capitalism and the way that states and markets mutually constitute each other. This market-making role of states is reflected in Tim Fowler’s “Working for the Clampdown: How the Canadian State Exploits Economic Crises to Restrict Labour Freedoms.” He presents an argument, based on a case study of the 2007–09 CAW automobile negotiations, that the Canadian state intervened, to a remarkable degree, to coerce the union into signing a concessionary collective agreement.
